Colour Blast by Bee-Arty
We are thrilled to announce our guest artist for Paperific 2024 is Sue Smyth coming down from sunny Queensland. Sue hasn’t been at Paperific since 2019 and to say she is excited about coming is an understatement. Sue had so many projects planned there wasn’t enough hours in the day at Paperific. Sue will be running both mini classes and a afternoon workshop.
Sue is a formally trained artist, in Visual Communications, with a back ground in painting, design and sculpture, she turned to paper crafting later in life when children came along. Some 20 years later, she teaches interstate and at some of the leading stores around Brisbane. You will find Sue at the Scrapbooking Expos, and craft shows, and teaching on Cruises and retreats. She has also had the opportunity to demo at CHA in the USA. Sue has contributed to many design teams, including Couture Creations and Imaginarium Designs and has been published many times. Sue Smyth even Edited, Australian Scrapbook Ideas and Cardmaking in Easy Steps for several years. Later she wrote her own book 3 D Papercraft Projects. The many years of experience creating and teaching in the Scrapboooking and papercrafting world, has led to designing many paper ranges for Ultimate Crafts and Couture Creations, and now for Bee Arty. Sue has two distinct styles, with an assemblage mixed media side, honouring the artist side, and a shabby chic layered look that celebrates paper, both styles are a visual feast for the eyes.
